  1. EtherPeek????? by Observer · · Score: 2
    This bit of the article caught my eye:
    " ... as well as a device called EtherPeek, which manages network traffic. ...."
    Huh?

    EtherPeek is a well-known LAN traffic monitor from WildPackets. Interesting to see it mentioned in this context: I can certainly see how writing a custom module or two for it might save The Protectors Of Our Freedom a bit of work. Or is this just a case of a confusingly-chosen name?
